A controller with HAL joystick implying high precision, no deadzone required and will never drift. I personnally chose the Gulikit King Kong 2 pro controller and love it ^^
I preferred it because (as i understood) 8bitdo could only connect in xInput mode with a 2.4Ghz dongle, and in switch pro mode with bluetooth
At least in regards to the Ultimate controller, a firmware update released recently allows you to connect directly via bluetooth if you want. There may be some caveats involved; I tested it out a bit while ago trying to configure the back buttons (unfortunately, I don't have a Windows PC and eventually gave up). I haven't played docked in a couple months, and even then only spent a bit of time setting it all up, so I may misremember certain details.
yes, once you have tested HAL joystick, you can't return to classic gamepad 😄
If you mean Hall effect joysticks, 8bitdo have them.
My bad, it seems that you are right, 8bitdo use the gulikit joystick.

so it's the same stick for both controller, so they differ only with their form factor which is a more subjective element to compare. I really like the Xbox Elite Controller design of the King King 2 Pro Controller.
The King Kong does look nice! I remember looking into it but settled on the 8bitdo Pro 2 as it was about 30% cheaper! 😅
